November 2019 I tried getting help with finding work from the jobcentre, and some useless bitch redid my C.V with (aledgedly) better formatting and bullet points. I've used that C.V to apply for well over 50 suitable jobs most with no minimum experience required, including loads over the last 2 weeks during the coronashit and I don't even hear anything back at all.

Meanwhile I still have to wait longer for my PIP appeal which was also postponed due to a mere cold and am down to about £300 left with just £140 ESA coming in per week.

Do I cut my own throat open now and bleed to death in my back garden?

All I have is retail and cafe experience and even Argos wouldn't give me an interview for a Christmas temp.

The answer is anything that pays.

Well, don't set your hopes up at all, you're probably gonna be shit out of luck for at least another 4 - 6 months.

What sort of shitskin are you?

Mongoloid, street shitter dad, niggress mother.

On the contrary there are loads of jobs coming up right now for food and support stuff but they are getting swamped with applicants.

Start blogging yesterday about the challenges that biracial Afro-Asians face during quarantine and use that to segue into a job at the BBC as a commentator.

Like @Theodore_Kent said you're fucked for a while, but here's the advice I give people who are just looking for a job, any job.

Find a job at a hospital, anything you can stomach for a year. Patient transport is a good one because you'll go all over the hospital and see all kinds of jobs to see what you like (and get good exercise), and hospitals have all kinds of jobs, they're like minor cities. After six months to a year you can usually transfer internally, and a lot of hospitals have preference for internal transfers over outside applicants.

I've seen people transfer from transport to low to mid level IT with no experience, and hospitals usually have kick ass insurance and benefits. If you can handle working nights you can sometimes get a night shift bonus, like 15% plus. There's also a chance for tuition reimbursement, though that's getting rarer now.

Edit - Be friendly, make friends, bust your ass until you get where you want to be.

I can't get a job at a hospital even voluntary as the NHS requires a minimum of 2x2 year references. I already tried trying to apply for Janitor and Cafe voluntary work and they wouldn't take me as my references are only around 6 months each.
